Blackjack - suggestions on where to play and minimal costs near MGM Grand?

Hi All

Going to be booking my trip to vegas for June this week. Hope to stay at the MGM Grand due to there special deals.

Anyway - its 10 years since I was in Vegas as used to play like $1 Blackjack to the early hours in the morning. As $1 blackjack is no more that I can find or atleast very rare, any suggestions on the minimal hand costs vs house rules around the MGM Grand or within walking distance?

Even though I like to gamble, I also prefer chatting and the whole experience. Last time I was in Vegas I was up overall.

Any advice appreciated.

Scott
